Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : While you've been away, uh... I've been in a relationship.

  Cat Grant : [gasp]  Kira Danvers has a boyfriend? A year in a yurt and I miss everything.

  Kara Danvers : Had a boyfriend.

  Cat Grant : Oh.

  Kara Danvers : For the first time... ever, I really liked someone. Loved someone. And it didn't work. It, um...

  Cat Grant : Hurts.

  Kara Danvers : Like hell. And everyone close to me in my life is in a happy relationship, and... I thought I could have that, too, but... I'm starting to think that maybe it's just not in the cards for me.

  Cat Grant : No. Take it from a woman who has been married four times.

  Kara Danvers : Four?

  Cat Grant : Well, it would have been five, but I turned down Rob Lowe. Twice, actually.

  Kara Danvers : It just feels like this pain isn't gonna go away.

  Cat Grant : Ah, well, that's what I said about childbirth. But it did. And it will. Now, see... the thing that makes women strong is that we have the guts to be vulnerable. We have the ability to feel the depths of our emotion, and we know that we will walk through it to the other side. And, by the way, you have accomplished great things this year. Your, your articles. "Slaver's Moon", "Alien Registry", "Alien Fight Club". I mean, it's all very powerful.

  [shakes her head] 

  Cat Grant : And your prose. Your, your prose is not bad. I mean, it's not great. But it's not bad.

  Kara Danvers : [chuckles]  You read them?

  Cat Grant : I did. I did. 2017... and they have Wi-Fi in the Himalayan mountains. But you, my dear, are on a hero's journey. Like Joseph Campbell would say. And, yes, you have hit a bit of an obstacle, but you will soar right over it just like I would. Except, of course, you... won't be wearing Louboutins.

• Cat Grant : [as Clark leaves her office]  Oh... those big, green eyes. I promise you, when he takes off those glasses, he is a tiger in bed.

  [Kara chuckles awkwardly and turns to leave] 

  Kara Danvers : [to herself]  Oh, god, I hope Rhea kills me.

• Kara Danvers : Supergirl gave us an exclusive interview.

  Cat Grant : In exchange for?

  Clark Kent : A request. She'd like to tone down the, um... gee, how do I put this? The... sensational tone that the battle's been receiving in the media.

  Cat Grant : I don't know how I can do that. People are finally starting to fight. Finally starting to stand up.

  Kara Danvers : Supergirl doesn't want anyone showing up and getting hurt.

  Clark Kent : And I don't know anyone who cares more about the people than you do, Ms. Grant.

  Cat Grant : Once again, Kansas, you're the only person who really gets me.

  Clark Kent : I try.

• Cat Grant : I've never seen Star Wars.

• Cat Grant : Tessmacher, get Snapper on the line. His dispatches have no teeth. Where's the hook? Where's the lead? Where's the stats, and where the hell is my latte? I've been typing for twelve hours. I need caffeine, I need carbs, I need a...

  [looking up, she sees Kara and Clark have entered] 

  Cat Grant : ...Clark bar.

• Cat Grant : And, um... what, pray tell, brings you here?

  Clark Kent : Gosh, Ms. Grant, I, uh... I just wanted to see what I could do to help.

  Cat Grant : Oh, you do love danger, don't you, Clark Kent. Yet another reason why Lois made no sense.

• Cat Grant : What's wrong with your face?

  Kara Danvers : What? Do I... do I have something?

  Cat Grant : Well, that frown. It's causing little tiny wrinkles to sprout up under your eyes. Kira, the city has been saved from that... fashion-challenged fascist, so why do you look like your world is about to end?
